The Pain This that post evolution pain and progression tried and the failed so many questions so many lessons trials and the tribulations this is the pain In my Darkest hour I found the definition Maybe I’m not the only one who believes in my vision I learn what life is a combination of moves and sacrifices You have no idea/not even the slightest there’s nothing like it Composition behind all these devices my addictions all of these vices keep fighting anytime I wanted to quit I kept writing live show testimonial so exciting How many times in my life have I crossed over playing lacrosse or these raps that I talk over be in the trap or these tracks I spill my heart and thoughts over or the way I feel when I’m not sober I did it once/did it twice/ third time do it right way he do it do it Say he do it nice we so high we out of sight my shit hybrid resident on there play list from the burbs of fredvegas to the block where there is no escaping this is history in the making Taking music, make it your full time occupation ask your family and friends to be patient do anything to hear your track playing Screaming put your hands where my eyes can see just like I planned it then move them left to right just like I panned it Astronaut stuck off on my own planet Said I’m marshall Leonard marshall mathers all fucking mixed got the sounds from virginia 125th all in my influence I never said I was the best but i be Always making progress They just trying find a million ways to stop it I’m just trying to find a million ways to make a profit Got a constant dope supply swear I’ll be underworld forever At my all time low I drive back road’s preach to congregations across the globe Like this is all that I know Means so much when they appreciate my flow all the passion and energy I put in my show Son of mayhem honorary samcro audio arsenal swole hand me some more ammo Can not break away something’s always pulling me close Create my own time signature Just so they remember us This is the illmatic The escatic Combined with the love below The chariot the chronic Something that they never seen before in search of refuge/recluse/nowhere to go this project I feel like I got so much to prove so much to gain/so much to lose high powered in my endeavor’s always stay true I be speaking on these records like its just me and you all of these recordings hope one breaks thru Said I dropped the mixtape and it sounded like the album for the people I owe so much I couldn’t do this without them

No Sleep 04:24
No sleep I got this looping On repeat/ my feet up of the concrete Same place people eat and sleep From the grind to the gutter/to the beach Crime/corruption and deceit That make you rise up out your seat I’m screaming love/then I’m screaming peace I got a inbox full of beats Take these statements across state lines Screaming fuck it all don’t know how to feel Insomnia my only friend I really don’t know how to chill How we all be lounging/ they starving in towns I’m pronouncing Ozone to Oakland Dc to the boggie down man They killin niggas Half my generation All thugged out Rollin other half my generation all drugged out Eyes wide open Facing consequences I’m bugged out Son of the morning Kept rising Kept shining Kept living beyond limits They like where the fuck ya been Red dragon on these niggas/bout to go jeremey lin This song was dedicated to those given no chance Fallin to chemical romance Across the sky as we slow dance I watch the citzen’s coping while I’m listening Copeland Beneath the medicine tree I’m smoking True story No downtown fiction It’s a different world That We livin I’m trying to unlock These codes and keys Got parameters That keep you placed Where you suppose to be Proper politics That keep you locked in position It’s every man for them selves They wage war on the oppostion Campaigns that cost them billions Cant the feed woman or children What is this Its almost as if it no more heroes Even existed Then we comeback Combat with this shit Walking thru the district Unique assassin Word chemist They say the city sleeps All alone City streets be there homes More concerned with substances Then music With a subject And some substance I’m carefully Constructing Lines for a generation/got the kids cranking Got the kinds thinking/I feel asleep dreaming Woke up on the pavement/ I can hear the drums banging Hard for me to resist that/dying to live like big cat I’m sitting back I’m screaming/there’s no way out/I am feinding/ beaming rolling and dreaming/dope things I am seeing/once nonthing become something/only one believing/audio architect look what I’ve been quietly building/ I remember vividly what these lights and sound did to me transformed me mentally/ Got me thinking moments and melodies All these haer brain schemes Underground to mainstream Shake my head at tv screen Leading my own regime My nana told me have no parts of this world That’s why I stay so far from this world Speaking thru these hs 50 Screaming out whose coming with me Day of reckoning coming swiftly Backpack on I came to spit these Standing on solid ground And watch it all shift Say my rhymes just sit right along with the riffs I said miss my family/miss my friends I’m so high and so tired Starin out my project window feel so uninspired I wrote this song I wrote this song for my people that be laying on the streets I compose all this dark thought I lay my soul down on the beat I be laying in my casket Still get no sleep

Words to say I got everything you need for a proper celebration/ Blowing on some trees call it parks and recreation/ Im Ron Swanson still speaking electric on acoustic I’m off the wall between the line show where the truth is cool kids riding round chuckin up the deuces how We do it rock rap fuse it They looking confused With we make that living loving/learning music look how we move its dumb/ feeling Head Chef turn it up a bit going home and roll it Burn it up a bit Still writing rhymes while a young nigga cooking up staying on my grind now everything is looking up Trynna Find Watch me adapt to any town man I get daps and the pound From the bouncers bartenders Fans soundman I float on like Im modest mouse D 2 artist bring the humble and the modest out Dope dreams and maps what We just brought the hottest out Palmer on the track what ain’t No way they can stop us now Wrote this thesis for those torn into pieces Cant quit now I know somebody needs this Breathe this something about the way that the beat kicks I mediate to it I get sick I swear that I medicate with it Gravitate to it bad news for good people the music to bring them through it The vans and the toms they say that my sneaks different My parents raised me right so why you think I speak different I only know the truth so why you think I preach different blowing on some northern lights why you think I geek different Whether top of the world or I float in the sea trynna find the words to say Riding alone where I wanted to be In search Finding my purpose I know somebody needs these Trying to find the words to say
